Every year since 2016, our embassy joins other diplomatic missions of the member countries of la Francophonie to highlight the French language and the cultural diversity of the French-speaking world in Mexico through a series of activities that take place as part of la Nuit de la Poésie (Poetry Night) in Casa de Francia in Mexico City.

On March 21st, 2024, from 6:00 pm, we will host our ninth edition of la Nuit de la Poésie. Join us for an evening to celebrate Francophonie Month by exploring the theme of rupture as a human challenge that creates empathy around human dignity, compassion, inclusion, and love. We will feature poetry readings, musical performances, panel discussions and talks by Francophone artists from around the world, as well as an open mic session!
